I’m Dareez, a trans girl from Rajasthan, currently living in Delhi. I have been struggling alone for the last three years after being disowned by my birth family and losing the only sources of income I had. Without a safe place to stay, I’ve relied on temporary shelters and the kindness of strangers just to survive. My earnings from a small part-time job barely cover a few days of food, leaving me unable to pay rent or access healthcare.

Recently, my situation has worsened in unimaginable ways. I’ve tested positive for HIV and need to start antiretroviral therapy (ART) immediately. At the same time, I am scheduled for an orchiectomy surgery next week, a critical step in my gender-affirmation journey. Between the cost of the surgery, the ongoing HIV medication, and weekly check-ups, I’m facing urgent medical expenses that I cannot afford on my own.

Your Support Goes Directly Towards:

• Medication, baseline blood tests, and monthly follow-up visits

• Hospital fees, surgeon’s charges, anesthesia, post-op care and medication

• Safe Shelter

• Food & Daily Essentials

• Long-Term Livelihood

I am reaching out with humility and hope.

Your contribution, of any amount, means a lot to me. If you can't contribute, please consider sharing with friends who can help. 

Your generosity will save my life and give me a chance to rebuild. Thank you for standing with me during this critical time.

With gratitude,

Dareez
